Share on social media

Rabbitohs five-eighth John Sutton will return to the Rabbitohs for this Saturday night's clash with the Newcastle Knights at ANZ Stadium, having missed out on a spot in the New South Wales Blues squad with Coach Laurie Daley announcing that the Bulldogs' Josh Reynolds will replace Kurt Gidley for Game One of the State of Origin Series.

Both Sutton and the Bulldogs' Josh Reynolds were brought into the squad yesterday (Wednesday) with Daley deciding that Reynolds was the man to fill the void on the Blues' bench.

South Sydney Members and supporters will have Rabbitohs Greg Inglis, Ben Te'o and Chris McQueen to watch next Wednesday night at the Rabbitohs' home ground of ANZ Stadium.

Sutton will take his place alongside halves partner Adam Reynolds against the Knights at 7:30pm at ANZ Stadium.
